Greetings Ferd06098:
Although I could not locate the article that you seek, I have located
another name to the claim of the ribbon candy maker inventor.
From http://www.yodernewsletter.org/YNL/vol27.html
"I'm enclosing a copy of an ad for a candy crimper which was invented
by my grandfather, Lorenzo Thomas Yoder. Today we call the confection
made by the machine "ribbon candy". Grandfather sold his candy is a
store in Pittsburgh and mother remembered him distributing his wares
by horse and buggy in smaller communities surrounding Pittsburgh."
[The ad is not present on this site, just a reference to it.]
Then, on the page at http://www.yodernewsletter.org/list/list97.html :
"May 13, 1847- Lorenzo T. Yoder (OY42413) was born--inventor of the
candy crimper (see YNL 27 page 8)"

Here are links to the making of ribbon candy:
Making Hard Candy - Behind the scenes at Fabiano's Homemade Candies
"For the beautiful, delicate ribbon candy, the candy is first pulled
and flattened into a smooth, ribbon-like length of candy. Dan snips
the ribbon to the desired length, then Steve carefully runs the candy
through a hand-cranked wooden crimper."
